*EDIT* Can the admins please move this to the 'sign in' section? My fault...
Howdy all! My name is Jordan and I'll be located in the Hickory area starting on June4th/5th. Currently I live in Vicenza, Italy. Stationed here with the US Army (173rd Airborne) but I ETS and move back to Hickory at the beginning of June.
A little about me- I'm new to Bronco's and Ford in general. Previously I have a lot of experience with older/classic BMW's and I've always had an itch for a classic Bronco. I've abandoned BMW's because well, they just piss me off now (too many dang electronics!!) and I figured I'd give early Bronco's a shot! Definitely the best looking old school 4x4 out there (IH Scout 800's/Scout II's in second place).
I recently bought a 1973 Bronco from a gentleman down near Fayetteville. A friend of mine picked it up and moved it back to Hickory for me. Previous owner claimed it had a 5.0 302 from an early 90's mustang, however the owner before him did all the work and it doesn't appear to be fuel injected. So unless he converted it to carb (who does that?), it's most likely an 85 and earlier 302. I'll post a picture and see if you guys can identify a year span, since I'm new to this stuff. James Duff suspension lift, some random other tid bits. I mainly bought it because it is almost completely rust free. A small spot of surface rust on the hood (planning on a fiberglass hood anyways) and a small spot on the tailgate. It is a 3spd on the column (I'd like to do an NV3350 swap, but that's a lot of cash!).
Anyways here are some pictures!

Any idea what year(s) this engine is? It's obviously not a 5.0 SEFI... (maybe? carb conversion?)
